7th Sea Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Advanced Dungeons & Dragons BASH! BASH! BASH! Call of Cthulhu Call of Cthulhu Diceless Call of Cthulhu Diceless Deadlands Hell on Earth (Classic) Deadlands Noir Deadlands Noir Dread Every year, the private security company SUNDER sends its staff on a corporate retreat at a off season ski lodge in the mountains. Attendees are supposed to review company core values, explore the corporate mission, examine challenges and opportunities for the future, and initiate newest hires into SUNDER's corporate culture... It is the horror roleplaying game that uses Jenga(R) instead of dice. Pull
from the tower and you succeed. Refuse to pull and you fail. The choice is
yours. But if the tower falls . . . Dread Dresden Files (A Fate System) Dungeon Crawl Classics Level: Level 0 Funnel Dungeon Crawl Classics is a heavy-metal flavored, streamlined version of 3E For long years, you labored in the fields like all the peasants, sweating hot and dirty in the summer, only to shiver under threadbare hides when winter came. This year’s harvest ended like all the rest, and autumn’s work was hard on Old Man Roberts. When you visited his bedside at the end, he spoke in labored breaths of constellations that hadn't been seen since he was a young lad. The last time the Empty Star had risen in the sky, it was more than fifty winters past, he said. Under the light of that strange star a portal had opened by the old stone mounds. He’d seen jewels in there and fine steel spears and enameled armor, but he'd run when the iron men had attacked. Now, old and dying, he wishes he'd taken the chance on a life of adventure. The Empty Star is once more rising, and a young man with courage could be more than just another peasant – if only he'd take the chance Old Man Roberts hadn’t. You're taking that chance. You stand before the monolithic rocks of the old stone mounds, under the dark light of a starry sky. The Empty Star is clear and bright above you. Three of the large stone blocks lean haphazardly together to form an upright rectangular portal about the size of a man. They seem to be placed directly beneath the star’s path. As the Empty Star ascends to its brightest point, its light catches in the portal, and a shimmering stonelined corridor is visible through the stones, but only from one side of the opening. Grasping your pitchfork with white knuckles, you step into the starlit portal which was not there before today, thoughts of jewels and scorching wheat fields foremost in your mind. Dice: Zocchi Dice (d3, d5, d7, d14, d16, d24, d30) not required, but useful.

Dungeonworld Fallout Equestria Fallout Equestria is a fan-made system based on the popular fan fiction of
the same name, which is a crossover of MLP: Friendship is Magic and the
Fallout universe. While knowledge of either universe is helpful, it's not
required. System not recommended for younger gamers, as the universe has
very grim-dark overtones. Other ponies call you scavengers, thieves, or bandits, but personally, you
like to think of yourselves as treasure hunters. Your small band of
hunters has discovered a real pre-war treasure- a completely sealed,
un-opened Stable, and proceed to crack through the terminal to open the
door. These monoliths from before the war are sure to hold a vast array
of wealth and technology, yours for the taking... unless some pony else
beats you there first, that is, though this stable doesn't appear to have
been disturbed since the days when the bombs fell, in times long past. In
their quest for riches and loot, has your group opened a pandora's box?
And if so, will whatever demons lie in wait within the confines of the
abandoned Stable 17 leave your group of avid scavengers able to escape in
time to keep hope alive? Fallout Equestria Fiasco FUDGE GM Fiat
Samus Aran - Metroid Honor + Intrigue Honor + Intrigue Honor + Intrigue Kagematsu Lego Minecraft RPG Finding yourselves in a strange, modular world, you must fight to defend total strangers from a threat you don't understand - but the WORLD is your weapon! Here's your chance to participate in an RPG where to overcome your obstacles you have to rebuild the world. Mice and Mystics In Mice and Mystics players take on the roles of those still loyal to the king – but to escape the clutches of Vanestra, they have been turned into mice! Play as cunning field mice who must race through a castle now twenty times larger than before. The castle would be a dangerous place with Vanestra's minions in control, but now countless other terrors also await heroes who are but the size of figs. Play as nimble Prince Collin and fence your way past your foes, or try Nez Bellows, the burly smith. Confound your foes as the wizened old mouse Maginos, or protect your companions as Tilda, the castle's former healer. Every player will have a vital role in the quest to warn the king, and it will take careful planning to find Vanestra's weakness and defeat her. Mice and Mystics is a cooperative adventure game in which the players work together to save an imperiled kingdom. They will face countless adversaries such as rats, cockroaches, and spiders, and of course the greatest of all horrors: the castle's housecat, Brodie. Mice and Mystics is a boldly innovative game that thrusts players into an ever-changing, interactive environment, and features a rich storyline that the players help create as they play the game. The Cheese System allows players to hoard the crumbs of precious cheese they find on their journey, and use it to bolster their mice with grandiose new abilities and overcome seemingly insurmountable odds.

Mistborn You and your crew of misfits have just escaped the capital, with Steel Inquisitors and the army of the Lord Ruler hot on your tail. But even as you flee, trouble is always one step ahead: what intrigue awaits in the city of Austrex? (Familiarity with the setting or system is not necessary. Please note, this game will take a break for the BBQ.) Pathfinder Pathfinder Pathfinder Pathfinder The Licktoads, once the great and fierce goblin tribe in Brinestump Marsh,
were defeated by human adventurers! All that remains of the tribe are its
four goblin "heroes"--Reta Bigbad the fighter, Chuffy Lickwound the rogue,
Poog the cleric of Zarongel, and Mogmurch the alchemist. Homeless and
bored, they left their swampy homeland to join the neighboring goblin
tribe, the Birdcrunchers. The good news is that the Birdcrunchers are willing to let the goblin
heroes join their tribe. The better news is that the Birdcrunchers have heard of these four, and
want one of them to become their new chieftain. The bad news is that before the goblins can join, they'll need to endure a
series of dangerous and humiliating tests. Very dangerous. Very humiliating. The worse news is that lately Birdcruncher chieftains have had really short
lifespans--they're being killed by the pet fire-breathing boar of a local
ogre who wants the Birdcruncher land as his own. Can the four heroes of the now-dead Licktoad tribe save the Birdcrunchers
and, in so doing, become their new leaders? Pathfinder Unfamiliar with Role Playing Games, or just Pathfinder in particular? Here is your chance to learn how to play the best selling RPG in the world! This game session is the perfect opportunity for a newcomer to the genre to learn the ropes, or for someone who hasn't played in a while to brush up on their skills. Players will be run through a custom adventure designed specifically to teach them the ins and outs of the Pathfinder RPG, all in a friendly and supportive environment. Participants will learn the basic rules of the game, including: The session will start with a walk-through of characters and character sheets, and then progress to running the game itself. Along the way players will be guided on how to use their characters and work as a team at every stage. After the adventure ends players will learn how to level up characters on a character sheet, which they will get to take with them. All the necessary materials will be provided during the game, so all that is required is a good attitude and eagerness to learn. Several breaks will take place during the session, and the timing can be worked out in the beginning for the benefit of everyone. If the session ends early, participants can ask any questions they might have, and can choose to leave or run through another adventure with a different character, perhaps even one they make themselves. Pathfinder Legends tell of ancient ruins nestled at the foot of the mountains to the North, but sensible folk don't pay any mind to such things. Dragons, kobolds, goblins and other such monsters are just silly stories and the fluff of day-dreams, certainly not something a person should concern themselves with. At least, that is how things used to be until now. Recently, rumour has made its way through the villages of monstrous creatures being seen in the woods at night. Several of the farmers on the outskirts of other villages have reported strange noises at night and waking up in the morning to find chickens or other small livestock missing. Mayor Adel Whelph, has decided to send out a call for adventurers to investigate the woods north of his village, Breckton. Characters provided. There will be a break for the BBQ. Pathfinder The awful humans have taken over the goblin warrens! The goblin king and most of his crazed citizens have been captured. All that is left is you, the members of the "elite" goblin infiltration unit, to reclaim the goblin kingdom and restore the king. Such crimes against goblinity are punishable by Araknarok, the relatively tactical eight-legged apocalypse. Ever wanted to be a goblin? Do it! This game is meant to be a fun and silly venture into goblin society and (even scarier) the goblin mind. Goblin your way past trials and tribulations to unlock the Arkanarok. Discover Araknarok upgrades along the way so that you can customize your enemies' imminent doom! Characters provided, no RPG experience necessary. Pathfinder The Thorium Rush has begun! Prospectors and businessmen alike have begun flooding into the deepest parts of the Fringe to claim their fortune. The wealthiest location is Thran Fransistone, which has seen great prosperity on Lord Adam and Lady Tium Fransistone. But life is hard under their iron-fisted regime and revolutionaries now seek to undermine their rule. Flint Eastrock and his enforcers have arrived to set the law straight. Justice is a six-barreled gavel in the rock-steady hand of a stone-faced sheriff. Wild Wild Deep is a funny and punny adventure setting for Pathfinder. It's a Western but with dwarves! Players take the roles of Sheriff Flint Eastrock and his band of enforcers to lay out the law. Come with a good sense of humor and play along in the adventure. Characters provided, no RPG experience necessary. Pathfinder Ever thought about giving up the civilized life and hoisting the Black Flag instead? If so, then this is the game for you! Players will have a chance to start the beginning of the Skull and Shackles Adventure Path, . This non-traditional AP by Paizo, creator of Pathfinder, sees the player's press-ganged onto a pirate ship where they must learn to survive amongst scoundrels and scum on the high seas while living aboard the pirate ship Wormwood. For those tired of running a goody two-shoes character, here is the perfect chance to explore the lower part of the alignment spectrum. Virtue and honesty are for landlubbers, not for those seeking glory and riches. Lie, cheat, steal, bribe and stab your way to freedom- and control of your own ship! This game is ideal for those experienced with the Pathfinder RPG system, as it rewards imagination and an ability to improvise. All necessary game materials will be provided, including pre-generated characters if needed, although players are encouraged to bring their own materials and pre-built characters (Paizo materials only please). Given time constraints, there will not be time to create characters at the start of the session. Also, life as a pirate is dangerous- those who want to bring their own characters are advised to bring more than one... just in case. Pathfinder - Pathfinder Society

Sagas of the Icelanders "There's an old cave out past the stream, that used to be sealed up by stones. When the first man settled here he opened up that cave, though his wife warned him against it. Nothing but misfortune followed. Cows that gave no milk. A farm that bore no grain. His Huscarl deserted him, his wife divorced him, and his thralls escaped. The man froze to death, all alone in his house, while whatever spirits that were trapped in the cage rejoiced. Now a new man has moved onto that land with his family, not two years back. I wonder how the fates are treating him." Sagas of the Icelanders is a role-playing game telling the stories of the families who settled Iceland in 900 AD. A land where the men must be tough and the women must be cunning, for the winters are long and bitter cold. Take on the role of a Farmer, a Matriarch, a Shield Maiden, or a mysterious Wanderer in this game that's a cross between "The 13th Warrior" and "Little House on the Prairie". Savage Worlds
